Do you love books and bookstores? Recently I found a bookstore that you might not know about: Prairie Path Books in Wheaton. Ever since Borders closed, I’ve been looking for bookstores to try, and recently found this one. Prairie Path Books offers a unique and inviting experience. Let me share a little of their background, and some of their upcoming programs with you.

Prairie Path Books opened last summer, when passionate book lovers, Heather, Sandy, and Jenny made it happen. The bookstore is a partnership with Toms-Price Home Furnishings in downtown Wheaton, where the books are tucked in the back of the furniture store. As you can tell from their slogan, “Gatherings and Great Reads”, the store sells books, and features fun events, with welcoming hospitality. Events include:

We have new restaurants in Warrenville! I had hoped to review them, but I haven't been to any of these new restaurants yet. In trying to find their addresses, I found a Dining in Warrenville page on the city's website. There were many other restaurants that I had not heard of before, but I don't think they are new. More places to visit.

Angie V's Restaurant and Bar

Serves lunch and dinner, has daily specials and some good reviews, along with photos and the list of daily specials copied from Yelp.

Orbit Family Restaurant

Open for breakfast and lunch every day, dinner on weekends for now (hours will be expanding, so call for current info). Orbit features a big menu with daily specials; they serve most anything you might want.

Specialities is a Bakery and Cafe serves Peet's coffee along with soups, salads, sandwiches, salads, bakery, and breakfast items. Services include catering and online ordering. It is open from 6 am until 7 pm weekdays and 7 am to 6 pm on weekends. Specialties is part of a small chain, and this Cantera location is the only suburban Illinois store.

Sweet Potato Cafe will now be open until 8pm for dinner Tuesday thru Saturday. I've also heard rumors that a liquor license is in the works, so stay tuned.

Address: 2S505 Route 59 Phone: 630-393-9058

It's nice to have new dining options, especially in the evening. See you there! Bon Appetit!
